Home made best scrubs for perfect skin
Beauty scrubs help in exfoliating dead skin cells to reveal a fresher and healthy skin.
Exfoliation of the skin, both of the body and face, is an important aspect of skin care regime as exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells to reveal a fresher looking healthy skin.
Exfoliated skin also helps in better absorption of skin care products.
Skin exfoliation can be done at home with scrubs made of natural ingredients. But exercise caution in usage, find out from your dermo if your skin type needs regular exfoliation.
Use of scrubs on a daily basis is not advisable as it will strip the skin off essential oils, instead make it a weekly affair if you have dry skin and bi-weekly if you have oily skin. If you
experience unusual dryness and irritation, it’s a warning to go easy on scrubbing. Avoid scrubs with a lot of artificial ingredients. Opt for scrubs, and there are plenty available in the
market, with natural ingredients. Or better still make them at home.
